The CR-240-SA Stent Crimping Machine is developed for the crimp and transfer of self-expandable stents into delivery systems in a single, controlled process. It accommodates stents up to 200 mm in length with a maximum diameter of approximately 30 mm, supporting consistent handling of larger, more complex devices.
Key Features
- Integrated dual camera system for process monitoring
- Servo-controlled stent crimping head with Zero Gap technology
- Exchangeable pusher rods and delivery system holders for various stent diameters
- 15.5” user interface with recipe control for process setup
- Built to a high-quality standard for a stable, robust design with minimal cost of ownership
- One-point automatic diameter calibration for quick system setup
- Calibration completed in seconds
- Full process data logging to the internal PC with transfer available via USB for analysis
